I WAS BUILT FOR

 THIS MOMENT.

A white picket fence surrounds a house with a tower, and a campaign sign for Cat Porterfield, running for Virginia House of Delegates, is in the foreground. The sign indicates the 99th district and the phrase 'Future Focused'.

Cat Porterfield

I’m Cat Porterfield — journalist, publisher, watchdog, mom, wife, and fighter.

I spent years building newspapers that told the truth, shining a light on corruption, and fighting for communities that deserved better. And now I want to bring that same fight and drive to Richmond.

I believe in affordable housing, strong public schools, honest government, and real accountability — not slogans, not lip service, but action that changes lives.

This fight isn’t polite. It’s urgent. It’s necessary.

"The real fight isn’t between left and right. It’s between right and wrong — between a system that serves itself, and a future that serves us all. They want us divided. I’m running to remind us who we are, and what we’re fighting for.”
